Events Expanding Prevention In Your Community


One way to help others learn more about ERASE and it's mission is by attending events in your community. Become a face people recognize, a face that makes them want to 'create a healthier Winneshiek County through community collaboration'!


(If your agency has an event coming up or you know of an event you would like ERASE to be involved in, please email winneshiekerase@gmail.com. )

Substance Free Graduation Parties!

ERASE would like to congratulate all Winneshiek County Seniors on their graduation! 


The Winneshiek ERASE Coalition helped two students celebrate their graduation by gifting them a goody basket and a yard sign for pledging to host a graduation party without alcohol.


With prevention being our primary focus, all initiatives, including this one, lead back to changing the norms in our community. A shift is occurring around the state and our community: every year less youth report using alcohol, and we are seeing a difference, such as fewer car accidents and alcohol poisonings. 



A Donation for ERASE

In December 2023 the ERASE Coalition received a generous donation from Christian Mosbo. Christian is one of the devoted members of ERASE who are focused on “creating a healthier Winneshiek County through community collaboration”.  His donation is greatly appreciated and will benefit many!



Youth Groups

High school youth work on many initiatives to prevent and end alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use. Their efforts—such as Red Ribbon Week, the Great American Smokeout, Drug Facts Week, Through with Chew Week, and Kick Butts Day—promote awareness and education among their peers and community.
